I am proud to announce that I have obtained, quarantined, and tortured the virus that was fucking up my computer. Took me a week or so to actually get everything under control. I apologize for making you wait for all this new shit I'm about to drop.

I Know You Got Soul.

Can't wait to peep this shit and the new Tribe Doc.

I'm beginning to think that true hip hop in general is alive and well.
Great releases you should most definitely should cop.

This is just a taste of all the shit that has been dropping this year. It's even hard for me to keep up and I stay atop the game. Few new mixtapes coming shortly.

Book of Rhymes

I always loved being a DJ , and producer and comparing myself with the people in the game that I respect. With this being said, I am officially announcing my resignation from writing and rapping. (I know you all really give a shit, almost). I've always preached to everyone that I was a DJ first, a Producer second, and lastly an Emcee, just for fun. A few years back when I started working on the Jack and Vinyl mixtape there was a void in Hip Hop for me. I felt like everyone was putting out decent material, but there really was no one writing anything that I could actually relate to. I wasn't living it up in the Hamptons, buying the latest Gucci threads, Doing sold out shows, or pushing a brand new Benzo like all the 'other' people out there. On an underground level, I wasn't working with the dope artistsi had access to, or even trying to link or pay for a verse from someone fresh. I always felt that it was a total waste of time, money and effort. So I decided to take things into my own hands and start taking writing seriously. After all, I've heard just about everything...from underground to commercial, new to old, and big guys to little guys....I surely can have an impact with some of the stupid thoughts cruzing around in my brain. Bottom line... writing is fun, but it does nothing for me for to try to be something I'm not. I asked myself the other day....if you had the opportunity to become one of the biggest rappers on the planet would you want to be that guy. Honestly, other than the money, I would never want to be that person. Main reason is because I'm not any good at it. The lines may be cool and shit and what I speak is real, (can't say that for most emcees) but I'm such a better DJ and Producer than I am an Emcee. Not to mention that I rarely perform or even try to go out to shows. Part of me feels that the best music always comes out of the studio. I like to show up to show support for my friends and to see them perform. Just don't ask me to perform. Call me what you want, (studio emcee, hermit, hypocrite) but be sure to call me honest. Let's face it...the reason that anyone (especially hip hop artists) out there creates a separate entity of themselves, is because they obviously weren't happy just being themselves. I'm cool with being myself, but becoming "the vinylcologist" give me my independence. It took me some time and I've pretty much created a brand that will settle for nothing less then excellent if my name is attached to it. In the past year alone I dropped more music then people do in a career. the crazy thing is, out of all the music I dropped, I liked the stuff that I wasn't rapping on the best. That's why this was an easy decision for me.

There are a few features I am currently buttoning up before its completely wrapped up. Then it's more blogging, djing, and producing. I also don't want to be the same as every other fuckin joe goin, "oh yeah, i'm a rapper" There's too many rappers, and not enough good ones. You assholes gave all the good ones a bad stereotype. Once people have horrible food at a place, you can't expect them to come back.

I'd rather put nothing out, than put out something that isn't timeless.
on a side note....
There is tons of great music coming out right now and the void of boredom with the music industry that I was trying to fill is flourishing right now. 2011 will be a historic year in hip hop.

Now on to the other shit you really want.

Doo_Wop-80's_Baby's_Blends-2011-UC

This new Doo Wop joint features classic acapellas from Nas, Jay, and BIG over some vintage breaks. Definitely dope to add to the collection....that and Doo Wop is a mixtape legend.

SICK HICK COOKBOOK

Drink Installment no. 1

"Elvis Palmer"

Pint Glass filled with 1/3 Ice
+ +

Equal parts all three , or mix it up as syrupy as you like. Dope drink that tastes great and gets you shitfaced. Exactly what your looking to get into every weekend. That is unless you on that straight edge diet.


Drink Installment no. 2

"Shnozberry Elvis"


Tall Glass Filled with 1/3 Ice
++

Again equal parts in a glass with some ice.
Add a twist of lime or some mint.
It will really make this taste dope.


Drink Installment no 3

"Toxcicle"

Tall Glass filled w. 1/4 Ice
++




This drink was given to me by a fellow co-worker.
Bomb. Tastes like a grape freeze pop.
Easy to drink fast.
Pace car status.
...unless you enjoy a throbbing hangover.


Have you ever wondered what Smog does for fun?

I gotta get the fuck outta dodge and make some beats.
Peace peoples.

Young_Malk_and_Big_Malk-The_Brothers_Grimm-2011-DGM

I have to show some love to my man Big Malk and to his protege and blood, Young Malk. This is the new EP they've been working on out in Windsor, VT. Be sure to cop one of those 'The Capital District' Tees and show some support for that upstate shit. ...Or you could always grab this EP and bump it down your block at Midnight on a school night. Sup Malk's ...you know I got you covered.


Action_Bronson-Barry_Horowitz-CDS-2011-UC

Action Bronson is making hella noise all over NY with his new album 'Dr. Lecter'. If you aren't up on this Flushing Queens native, just thank me for giving you the heads up and something hype to rock all summer. Some say that it is the best album that have heard in years... including myself. Others have said "hip hop is back in NY". I'd put my money on this dude any day of the week. He's kinda sounds like a young Ghost with dope ass production behind him. He has been recently working with Statik Selektah and Mayhem Lauren of Thirstin' Howl III's Lo-Life clique.
Here's the track from the video off his new album if you want to download it.
DOWNLOAD
I was gonna post this whole shit cause i do have it, but I figured since you guys know everything, then you would know where to get it yourself. Best album of 2011 so far. People are sweating the new Reks album, but that is no comparison to this instant classic. All you need is one listen and you'll know what I'm talking about. This dude actually looks like a heavy version of my cousin Matt. Crazy shit. Sleep if you want, but Action will be invading your playlist in one way or another. Don't say I didn't tell you so wigga.

Dirt_Nasty_and_King_Fantastic-Choke-CDS-2011-UC

People are probably wondering why I post so much Dirt Nasty music on my blog. Plain and simple answer...It's entertaining. It's not even close to as good as some of these other stuff I post on here, but it's also 1,000 times better than the shit on the radio today. Plus I'm a dirty muthafucka at heart. Simon Rex has been fondling the music business and the fashion world since his early days as a host on MTV's Remote Control. After teaming up with Stretch Armstrong to release 'The White Album', he continues to do shows and amaze crowds with how much coke he does during those shows. I have nothing against coke, cause I can say it's got me plenty of college ass back in the day. I just smoke, drink, and on occasion twist some hash in the vega. That's my cup of jack. This song isn't as dope as the last song I posted, but it's still worth playing...at least once. Check it.

Decon_and_Hip_Hop_DX-Never_Not_Fresh-(SXSW_Showcase_Sampler)-2011-UC

Here's another exclusive you will find at a few spots only, including Dusty but Digital. This is the CD sampler they were giving out at the Decon Records booth at SXSW music festival. It features all new music from artists on the Decon label, and some exclusives from up and coming artists. This disc was entirely mixed by DJ Babu of Dilated Peoples. ENJOY!

Chi-Ali Then

Chi first made his first appearance as Jeff on various B-Sides of singles from De La Soul's 3 Feet High and Rising. He reappeared as Chi-Ali two years later on Black Sheep's debut album A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing on "Pass the 40," a posse cut about drinking 40s, rocking women, and ripping the mic. Chi Ali at the time was a member of the Native Tongues and also had connections with the Legion family, along with Showbiz and AG.
This was one of the songs that made him a household name in the hip hop community. "Funky Lemonade" was my favorite joint off his album. I still remember killing doubles to that back when it dropped. Always a good song to chop up while drinking a 40oz of Crazy Horse.
He got pinched after being on the run for a few months and got sent to prison in 2001. He was charged with the murder of his girlfriends brother. He was even on America's Most Wanted and
Managed to stay at large for over a year.

Chi-Ali Now

After doing years in Sing Sing Correctional as prisoner #04A0267, he's apparently changed his mind about being a gangster. Grab his classic 1st album HERE.


Flippin' Footage

I only remembered a little of this when Flux and the FWORD fam were taping it. I was about 3 blunts in and 10 PBR's deep when this was filmed. We were out front cracking on people walking by, Heather Morrison (pregnant on the 9's), and all the cornballs driving by that had Dead Hardy steering wheel covers. That was a fun night and I can't thank these guys enough for the continued support. Much love fellas. Flux killed one of my beats in this video too. The last 3 Don Smog CDs sold at this show for $20 a piece.


Good News. Gas prices are up.

Now that's how you kick game.
